{"product_id":"2940013740846","title":"The Demon Spell","description":"It was about the time when spiritualism was all the craze in England,\u003cbr\u003eand no party was reckoned complete without a spirit-rapping seance\u003cbr\u003ebeing included amongst the other entertainments.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOne night I had been invited to the house of a friend, who was a great\u003cbr\u003ebeliever in the manifestations from the unseen world, and who had\u003cbr\u003easked for my special edification a well--known trance medium. 'A\u003cbr\u003epretty as well as heaven-gifted girl, whom you will be sure to like, I\u003cbr\u003eknow' he said as he asked me.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eI did not believe in the return of spirits, yet, thinking to be\u003cbr\u003eamused, consented to attend at the hour appointed. At that time I had\u003cbr\u003ejust returned from a long sojourn abroad, and was in a very delicate\u003cbr\u003estate of health, easily impressed by outward influences, and nervous\u003cbr\u003eto a most extraordinary extent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo the hour appointed I found myself at my friend's house, and was\u003cbr\u003ethen introduced to the sitters who had assembled to witness the\u003cbr\u003ephenomena. Some were strangers like myself to the rules of the table,\u003cbr\u003eothers who were adepts took their places at once in the order to which\u003cbr\u003ethey had in former meetings attended. The trance medium had not yet\u003cbr\u003earrived, and while waiting upon her coming we sat down and opened the\u003cbr\u003eseance with a hymn.","brand":"WDS Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47070245978352,"sku":"2940013740846","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940013740846_p0.jpg?v=1763589622","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940013740846","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
